Today’s stop on the Hero’s Guide Blog Tour is an interview at Kid Lit Frenzy! In it, you’ll hear about the first story I remember writing as a kid, and you’ll get a glimpse at the books in my “To Be Read” pile.

Today’s stop on the Hero’s Guide Blog Tour features perhaps my favorite interview ever. Head to There’s a Book to read my Turkeybird Interview — “Turkeybird” being the nickname of the 4-year-old boy who conducted the interview. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had fun doing it.

I was delighted to read this review of The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Dot Hutchison of Scattered Pages: “This book should come with a warning printed on it: do not attempt to eat or drink while reading. My keyboard will never be the same.” Read the full text here.

For anybody who didn’t know, I’m a huge fantasy/sci-fi/comic book geek. And so is Matt Cunningham, who runs the blog, Literary Asylum. So you can expect this interview to be of the more nerdy variety — but in a good way. Cheers!

Hop over to Bookalicious to read my in-depth critique of each of the original Prince Charming characters upon which my Frederic, Liam, Gustav, and Duncan are based. Did any of them really deserve to be called heroes? (Plus you can enter for a chance to win a free copy of the book!)

In my guest post for the Nerdy Book Club, I muse about the origins of my life as a book lover — and come to the conclusion that it all began back when I truly believed I was A.A. Milne’s Christopher Robin.
